Eternal God Transcending Time

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #59 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Marginalized Lyrics: 1 Eternal God transcending time, yet mindful of the fears, the hopes, the questions raised for us by ever-changing years: so guide us through our pilgrim days that we may find a home where justice, truth, and mercy meet, fulfilled in your shalom. 2 Incarnate God revealed in time, true Word in flesh retold, who marked the years from birth to death, then rose to break death's hold: by your becoming one with us, help us to know and claim the unity of all baptized in your redeeming name. 3 Life-breathing God enliv'ning time, awaking heart and tongue, inspiring prophets, bringing hope, consoling old and young: draw us to those denied your gifts by bias, want, or strife, convert our wills and form through us new channels of your life. 4 Great Triune God, so bless the time entrusted to our care, that all our varied ministries may form a common prayer; then when time ceases, bring us where divisions are undone, that in your presence, joined in praise, at last we may be one. Scripture: John 1:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FLIGHT OF THE EARLS

Through All the World a Hungry Christ

We are the rich, the daily fed. 2 Beyond the church a leper Christ takes each untouchable by hand, gives hope to those who have no trust, whose stigma is our social brand. 3 In torture cell, a pris'ner Christ for justice and for truth must cry to free the innocent oppressed while we at liberty pass by. 4 We do not know you, beggar Christ, we do not recognize your sores, we do not see, for we are blind: forgive us, touch us, make us yours.

Leftover People in Leftover Places

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #275 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: Marginalized Lyrics: 1 Leftover people in leftover places, troubled, disabled, the needy and sad, scavenging crumbs from society's plenty, sick to the soul when their life has gone bad; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom deemed to be worthy and called to the feast, soup-kitchen people invited to banquet, valued as greatly as royal and priest. 2 Leftover people, disposable people, locked into prisons of drugs and despair, poverty's children in poverty's spiral, locked out of learning and earning their share; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom, these are the Christ in their shabby disguise, these are the least and the highly unlikely, given a hope and new light in their eyes. 3 Here is God's testing of true Easter people, spirited people with service to give, taking to heart the compassion of Jesus, feeling how others must struggle to live; we are a part of God's upside-down kingdom, we know the heart if the gospel's demand, taking our part with the leftover people, widening the space of the lines in the sand.
